Preparations
This chapter describes how to prepare
the remote commander for operation.

operating.
Compatible Components
and Functions
This unit is a remote control system that utilizes infrared
rays to control an amplifier and AV components
connected to the amplifier.
Compatible Components
This unit can be used to operate Sony AV components as
well as AV components manufactured by other
manufacturers. Set up is necessary in order to operate
components manufactured by other companies (see page
19).
Note
Depending on the component, control may not be possible using
this unit.
Functions
This unit is a bidirectional remote commander. Not only
does it transmit infrared rays for operation of the
amplifier, it can also receive infrared rays emitted by the
amplifier to display characters and other information
supplied by other components connected to the amplifier
with a CONTROLA1 cord.

Preparations
Note
• To ensure good communication conditions, carry out initial
setup from directly in front of, and close to the amplifier.
• Do not move the unit during initial setup.
If a communication error occurs during setup
An error message will be displayed.
• Touching OK will return to the step 5 setup screen.
• Touching SKIP goes to the regular screen without
carrying out initial setup. Although operation is
possible in this condition, functions not included on the
amplifier will be displayed, and some buttons will not
be operable. Also, the initial setup screen will appear
each time the touch panel is turned on.
Note
The commander receives and displays data transmitted from the
amplifier. Communication errors may occur if the commander’s
transmitter/receiver section is not directed properly toward the
amplifier.
Be sure to point the commander’s transmitter/receiver section
towards the amplifier.
When replacing the batteries
To ensure preservation of the commander’s internal
memory when replacing batteries, be sure to observe the
following cautions.
When to replace batteries
When the batteries become weak, a warning sounds and a
message is displayed. Replace batteries as instructed by
the message.
How to remove the lithium battery
Notes
• Disc titles and song titles downloaded from the CD changer are
memorized in the commander. The lithium battery is used for
preservation of this memory. If the unit is used with an
exhausted battery, the settings memorized in the commander
will be erased. Please replace the battery as soon as the message
appears.
• Replace the alkaline batteries with new batteries as soon as
their charge is exhausted. If the unit is used with exhausted
batteries, exhaustion of the lithium battery used to maintain
memory will be quickened and the memorized settings may be
erased.
• The life span of batteries may be shortened depending on the
conditions in which the commander is used.
• If the alkaline batteries and lithium battery become exhausted
at the same time, replace the alkaline batteries first. Replacing
the lithium battery first will erase the data memorized in the
commander.
• When replacing the alkaline batteries, always replace all 4
batteries with new ones.
• After replacing batteries, be sure to carry out touch panel
adjustment (page 6).
